Middle School students from St. Petersburg, Florida, were asked to draw a picture inspired by the work of Keith Haring. The pictures represent world issues that affect their lives. The pictures were later combined to make a 6 foot painted puzzle, and put on display at the Florida Holocaust Museum.

Groups of students were given the task of creating a Haring-style painting that communicated a message about an important social issue.

Using the theme of "pressure", this class explored ways in which they experience and deal with social pressures in their everyday life and painting these images on to a large-scale table.

Kids brainstorm ideas, make sketches, practice painting, and work together to paint this inspiring mural. This project was sent in by a very special program called FreeArts, developed to help abused children.
